Indian Coast Guard / Pakistanis were capturing and taking away Indian fishermen, then ICG challenged them

Indian Coast Guard: A major quarrel has been seen on the maritime border between India and Pakistan. The incident took place on 17 November 2024, when personnel of the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) captured seven Indian fishermen near the India-Pakistan maritime border. Pakistani guards were trying to take the Indian fishermen to Pakistan by boarding the PMSA ship Nusrat. But before they could do so, the Indian Coast Guard stopped them and rescued the fishermen safely.

Details of the incident

On Sunday afternoon, the Indian Coast Guard received a distress signal from a boat Kal Bhairav ​​​​operating in the prohibited fishing zone (NFZ). On receiving this signal, the Indian Coast Guard immediately took action. The ship Agraman, which was already stationed near the maritime border, chased the Pakistani ship Nusrat.

In this operation that lasted for about two hours, Agraman succeeded in stopping the Pakistani ship. The Indian Coast Guard gave a clear message that under no circumstances will Indian fishermen be allowed to be taken to Pakistan.

Success of Operation 'Agrim'

The Indian Coast Guard ship Agrim not only chased away the Pakistani ship but also rescued all seven Indian fishermen safely. During this, the Pakistani ship tried to return to its border, but the promptness and efficient strategy of the Indian ship made them unsuccessful.

A video of this entire incident has also surfaced, in which Agrim can be seen chasing the Pakistani ship and rescuing the Indian fishermen safely.

Loss of boat and condition of fishermen

However, in this incident, the Indian fishermen's boat Kal Bhairav ​​was damaged and sank. Despite this, the lives of the fishermen were saved and their medical condition is said to be stable.

Importance of maritime security

This incident reflects the challenge of maritime security between India and Pakistan and the readiness of the Indian Coast Guard. The Indian Coast Guard not only ensured the safety of its citizens but also made it clear that India is ready to take every possible step to protect its maritime borders.

This incident has once again highlighted the tense relations between India and Pakistan. Such incidents on the maritime border can further increase the tension between the two countries. However, the quick action of the Indian Coast Guard averted any major mishap this time.

Conclusion:

This incident is not only a proof of the efficiency and vigilance of the Indian Coast Guard, but also shows how important it is to ensure security on the maritime border. To deal with such incidents, both the countries need dialogue and cooperation, so that such incidents can be avoided in future.
